DARK FUNERAL: New Album, Bonus DVD Details Revealed
 Swedish black metallers DARK FUNERAL will release their new album, "Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus", on November 18 via Regain Records. The CD was recorded at Abyss Studio in Grangärde, Sweden with famed engineer and legendary producer Peter Tägtgren (PAIN, HYPOCRISY). Nine songs are featured on the effort, which is being described in a press release as "the band's most technical and varied album to date. And while still being true to their roots, they have taken a great step forward in the evolution of their brand of fine Swedish black metal.

DARK FUNERAL shot a video for "My Funeral" over the August 21-23 weekend at the Abyss Studios. Guitarist Lord Ahriman says, "The video was shot in and outside an old and closed mental hospital. The environment was just killer. And besides, it suited the video theme perfect!
"The video is currently under editing by Standard Film Team. However, due to the graphic violence and somewhat gory nature of the video, I would assume that we will be forced to edit two versions, one soft and one hard core version. Exactly how and where we'll release them is yet to be decided though."

AGUA DE ANNIQUE To Release \'In Your Room\' In October
 AGUA DE ANNIQUE, the Dutch band led by ex-THE GATHERING vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen, will release its new album, "In Your Room", on October 30. The 12-song effort was written entirely by Anneke except for two tracks: "Just Fine" was co-written with Devin Townsend and "Adore" was composed by AGUA DE ANNIQUE bassist Jacques de Haard and Cyril Crutz. The album's first single, "Hey Okay!", will be made available on October 6.
Commented Anneke: Recording our new album in our brand new self-built recording studio was, besides lots of hard work, just a sheer blessing and the end result is to my absolute satisfaction. It's crystal clear, positive, alternative pop rock music with, of course, some melancholy.
"My three bandmates were in top form! I played a beautiful old piano on two songs. Rob [Snijders, drums] played additional keyboards.
"We have one guest on this record: Twan van Gerven, who is mainly known from his great guitar playing for Dutch band BEEF.
"The album was mastered last Monday. This week, I find myself in a sort of a vacuum between the album's deadline (yesterday) and the whirlwind of promoting my newborn, which is about to start very soon. So I sleep as much as I can and I'm trying to catch up with all domestic duties. I'm afraid, in my case, this will mean hiring a new housekeeper.
"The pre-sales for the first shows have already started and we are totally looking forward to play again after the studio period. We will, of course, perform lots of new songs and spoil your ears with recent classics from my two previous albums.
"Do come and see us — these will be the only Dutch shows till the end of 2009!"

JOE PERRY: New Solo Album Samples Available
 AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry's fifth solo album, "Have Guitar, Will Travel", will be released on October 6 via Roman Records. The hard driving, ten-song, in your face, collection features Perry's trademark rock and blues ferocity, as well as the CD's first single, the blazing "We've Got A Long Way To Go", set for release later this summer. Recorded this past spring at the BoneYard, Perry's state-of-the-art home studio, where AEROSMITH's "Honkin' On Bobo" and "Just Push Play" were recorded, "Have Guitar, Will Travel" is entirely written and produced by Perry.
"Have Guitar, Will Travel" ( cover) track listing:
01. We've Got a Long Way To Go
02. Slingshot
03. Do You Wonder
04. Somebody's Gonna Get (Their Head Kicked In Tonight)
05. Heaven and Hell
06. No Surprise
07. Wooden Ships
08. Oh Lord (21 Grams)
09. Scare The Cat
10. Freedom
Check out audio samples at this location.
Still as scorching hot on guitar as he is preternaturally cool in his persona, "Have Guitar, Will Travel" is a departure for Perry in that the CD was conceived as a band recording. From start to finish it took only forty-seven days to complete. "Making this record in such a short period of time gave us a chance to capture an energy and flow that was very different from the last record," said Perry. "The way the players came together at a time when I had the music and lyrics in my head ready to go was pure synchronicity. The last record rocked, but this one rocks and then some. I'm really proud of it.
"We've Got A Long Way To Go", the CDs first single, showcases the voice of a young German singer known as Hagen, found completely by chance on YouTube by Joe's wife Billie. "I first called him from Cleveland when I went to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame jam with Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Ron Wood, Flea and METALLICA," said Perry. "It took several minutes to convince him that it wasn't a prank call, but a true invitation to audition to sing on the CD." Hagen mans the microphone for five tracks, while Perry sings lead on four. The remaining tenth song is an instrumental entitled "Wooden Ships".
In addition, Perry attracted an esteemed roster of some of the best players that the music world has to offer; bassist David Hull, who played with THE BUDDY MILES BAND at 19 and was in THE JOE PERRY PROJECT in the '80s, drummer Ben Tileston, a Boston University percussion graduate, who plays drums with two of Perry's sons in TAB THE BAND, Paul Santo, who's played Hammond organ/pipe organ with the likes of Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton and Ozzy Osbourne, drummers Scott Meeder and Marty Richards and Willie "Loco" Alexander, Boston's "Godfather of Punk," who was part of the Bostown sound of the band THE BAGATELLE.
A six-week Twitter search was conducted to find the CDs title. The winner, out of nearly 2000 entries, was Joe Piscitelli, who used a play on the old CBS television program "Have Gun – Will Travel".
The release of "Have Guitar, Will Travel" follows self-produced solo releases including "Let The Music Do The Talking" (1980), "Once A Rocker, Always A Rocker" (1983), "I've Got The Rock 'N' Rolls Again" (1981) and 2005's "Joe Perry", which received universal critical praise and earned Perry his first solo Grammy nomination for "Best Instrumental Song" ("Mercy").
Perry is planning a "short, fast, hard tour" with THE JOE PERRY PROJECT. | 0 | |

10. Private Hell
11. Black Gives Way To Blue
ALICE IN CHAINS singer William DuVall recently told The Flint Journal about the new CD, "I think you can expect a really dense, really heavy but really ethereal and cathartic sonic experience.
"We took our time with this record. There was certainly no shortage of thoughts and feelings to address with everything that's gone down. It's a snapshot of our journey from early 2006 to this point right now. It's the story of our coming together. It's also the story of a band that is both celebrating its legacy but also opening the door to the future, and mourning the loss of a friend, one of the great singers of all time, Layne Staley. But it really is a testament to for every door that closes, there's another one that opens, if you chose to open it. They lost somebody but they also gained somebody."

ELUVEITIE Begins Recording New Album
 Swiss pagan horde ELUVEITIE entered Newsound Studios two and a half weeks ago with producer Tommy Vetterli (CORONER, KREATOR, VOODOO CULT) to begin recording its new album for an early 2010 release via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to the acoustic/folk masterpiece "Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion" will be a full-scale metal album effort, and it will be mixed by acclaimed British producer Colin Richardson (BEHEMOTH, MACHINE HEAD, SLIPKNOT, AS I LAY DYING, TRIVIUM, KREATOR, SEPULTURA).
Commented ELUVEITIE vocalist Chrigel Glanzmann: "Drums and most of the guitars [for the new CD] are already nailed! And so far we are really, really satisfied. I mean, REALLY!
"So far, it is hell of a pleasure to work with [Tommy], engineering and recording the album! It's great to profit of his enormous experience (both as producer/engineer as well as musician) on one hand, but also to work and have a good time with him as a very likeable and down-to-earth guy on the other hand. And judging after how the so far recorded tracks sound, this album will definitely cleave your heads open!"
He added, "Some of the songs on this new album I began to write quite a long time ago, some others developed in a very short time during the last two months. All in all, I think that this album becomes our most dark and severe release so far; brimmed with mystical, convoluted and partly insanely fast Celtic folk melody lines, but at the same time with pure, juggernautish metal. The album's probably more 'metal' than any other release we did so far."
"Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion" was released in April via Nuclear Blast Records. It contains 15 folk songs, most of them written in ancient gaulish language.
The CD registered the following first-week chart positions:
Switzerland: #20
Germany: #60
ELUVEITIE last year announced the addition of Paede Kistler (bagpipes, whistles, acoustic guitars) and Kay Brem (bass) to the group's ranks.
